TITLE PANEL

Title card showing "Chemistry" with "by Rachel Nabors" and cursive lettering.

RACHEL: "God, I hate this town."

TUNA: "What now?"

PANEL 2

Close-up of Rachel looking dejected.

RACHEL: "There is absolutely no boyfriend potential here."

RACHEL: "All the guys are so shallow..."

PANEL 3 (DASHED BORDER - IMAGINATION/FLASHBACK)

Four small panels showing different types of local guys:

Panel A: A guy with a car obsession TEXT: "They only care about their cars. They only think about sex."

Panel B: A guy avoiding a library building TEXT: "Ninety percent of them have never set foot inside the library."

Panel C: A guy looking vacant TEXT: "They have no ambition. No dreams. No hopes or desires."

Panel D: Two guys drinking beer TEXT: "They just hang around with each other drinking beer."

PANEL 4

Rachel opens a refrigerator dramatically while a blonde guy at the door looks confused.

GUY: "What are those?"

RACHEL: "As long as I stay here, I'll never have a boyfriend."

RACHEL: "I'll never get married. I'll die alone!"

RACHEL: "Why, God? Why have you forsaken me?"

This first page here encompasses the whole of my romantic hardships back in the Middle of Nowhere. All the guys not my type, kinda wastrels. Me, wishing I had someone, but not wanting was around me. Pah.
